Man, whoever came up with these architect ideas are either more ambitious than me on a bad day, or is just crazier than me. I didn't know there was people with bigger kahoonies than me. I'm a crazy guy, i can admit that, but after watching this, i now know there's people worse than me, and i'm quite a crazy and weird guy myself, and that's to put it lightly
I call myself a psychopath 😊and I'm proud of it
You forgot to include Leonardo Da Vinci’s Bronze Horse, a giant horse statue commissioned by the Duke of Milan in the late 1400s.
24:19 I feel like there is no possible way that this structure would work. Firstly, it would likely cost hundreds of billions, if not trillions of dollars to just transport the materials to build this thing. Secondly, if a fire started on this building, it would be extremely difficult to extinguish it. Thirdly, if it drifted of course towards the Andes mountains, the bottom of the skyscraper could hit a mountain peak. Fourthly, you can't just add millions of tons of weight to an asteroid and expect nothing about it's orbit to change. Fifthly, this building would have a ton of surface area and thus have a huge chance of getting hit by a chunk of space junk. Finally, what would happen if a hurricane hit the skyscraper?
Cloud city. The destroyer of earth.
Regarding the Manhattan dome, has anybody ever held a magnifying glass to an ant or piece of paper? The glass concentrates heat, therefore making things really hot for anybody underneath it. With the thing being a dome the heat will have nowhere to go. And then there’s the impact on plant and animal life. In the long run, it would do more damage than good. On top of that, imagine how much repairs would cost lol.
when i grow up i also want to be an engineer designining insane megaprojects if i can😃
i hope your dreem comes true!
Yeah and good luck of ruining of this already messed up ecosystem if it comes true
The Freedom Ship just sounds like a horrendous concept. Freedom to me is away from other humans, not packed like sardines without escape 😮 Liked the NOAH one though, the space hanging skyscraper was hellish sounding and the helter-skelter car drive would do my head in 🎪😂 None of these really appealed to me but fascinating to see what might have been 😊
It wasnt that bad, if u have money thats actually great. It has barely enough for an airport. u can literally jump in the ocean if theres no dangerous animals in the area. oceanic activities would be regular like water surfing, speed boating. U can also take a jet a fly over the ocean.
20:24 Atomic powered elevators,because of course
Analema Tower Drop would be like Operation British but smaller in size.Also damn Can Architects never come up with sane structure ?

Imma sign up
not a flex 😅 to me it just seem that you need to something to do 😂
@@protoni6996I did.
I don't know why, but I always wanted to stay in that flying hotel they were thinking of building
Lol
I still wonder what would happen if a hurricane hit it. Or if the top of the tower got hit by a piece of space junk. Or how they would get people in and off that thing. Or how they would build it. Or what would happen if it caught fire. Or what would happen if a window on one of the top floors broke. Or what would happen if it got blown off course and towards the Andes mountains, with some peaks exceeding 11,000 ft. Or how inertia alone would stop the whole thing from crashing down. Or what would happen if there was an explosion near the top of the tower. Or...
Adam Something has taught me to always be distrusting of megaprojects, no matter how cool they look at first glance
14:52 YOUR MAJESTY THERE'S A SECOND BUS COMING
Interestingly, I didn't find the death pyramid price "THAT" expensive in today's prices. I mean you made comparisons to The Shard... And interestingly, the price mentioned it exactly the same as the cost of The Shard. Now it was ugly - although would have taken very very very few adjustments to look iconic.
The Freedom ship was a con game, with the "backers" of the project selling space on it BEFORE it was built... and investigations proved not only that this wasn't being built anywhere in any shipyard in the world, but the "Backers" hadn't even ordered the massive engines needed to move this monstrosity (The specialized engines were built by only a few specialized construction companies, and took a year to build.... and THESE companies had never heard of or ever been contacted by the "Backers" of this project.), nor had contracted with the specialized shipyards capable of making anything this big. They hadn't even bought the materials needed to begin building it. Those behind it were subsequently arrested and charged with fraud as they couldn't show this ship being built anywhere in the world.
14:58 YOU'RE MAJESTY THERE'S A SECOND BUS COMING!!
To quote the Professor in The Fifth Element, "This is really amazing." 👀
Personally the only mega project/s possible are man made islands or more specifically expanding smaller islands.
Love your video Be Amazed and keep up the great work
Me too!
me 3
We could actually build multiple freedom ships today, it would just take a lot of time and be very expensive
They could have built them when they were conceived, but the whole concept was really dumb then and it hasn't gotten any smarter.
@@megachonk9440ships have got a lot bigger, but there's no market for a trillion dollar ship that size. There's no port big enough to assemble it in, no engines large enough to power it, the 100,000 houses, and their airport.
Anybody want a plush toy of the Be Amazed mascot? I would definitely buy one... or ten.
It's so cute, I'd buy it too
Just holding my nokia brick
Hi sir I am Eren Jaeger and I am from South Africa and I have a revenge story. In December 2022 we went on a middle school excursion to play paintball. There were rules like we had to stay 10 meters away to shoot our opponents because those bullets left a mark even from far away. So my classmate Ron shot his opponent Alex in the ear at a close distance, even though he was wearing a helmet he still got temporary hearing loss and required medical attention. My male teacher really liked Alex and got angry at Ron. He and Ron went into the arena and he gave Ron a chance to run away before he got shot, so Ron began run but before he got away, he got shot in the back from 4 meters away. Ron was crying and everyone was laughing, even the teachers!!!He had no medical attention and needed tons of ice to heal.😂😂😂😂
Yea the Be amazed mountain sounds so good and cool I think lol
Well, that sphere got built anyway, maybe not as Laboulaye planned. It is in Las Vegas. It is a very large spherical billboard. Sometimes even just showing an emoji that makes it look like a sleeping sun. 😴
All your videos are amazing and very entrusting. After them I'm Amazed!
Their videos put me to sleep in a good way
i love them
Gods honest truth. Years ago, I had a few dreams of rotating houses and living in one. They were on a consistent slow rotation all day every day. One full rotation that took 24 hrs to complete. You could look out the window in the morning and see your neighbors house and look out the same window before bed and see the ocean.
I absolutely love the NOAH project and think it would be awesome for the whole city to be rebuilt like that next time it's destroyed.
I love it!!
Next: Countries that join WWI over Allies (America 🇺🇸, Russia Empire 🇷🇺, France 🇫🇷, UK 🇬🇧, Kingdom of Italy 🇮🇹) and Central Powers (German Empire 🇩🇪, Austria-Hungray 🇦🇹🇭🇺 and Ottoman Empire 🇹🇷) 1) Serbia 2) Greece 3) Empire of Japan 4) Belgium 5) Bulgaria 6) Romenia 7) Australia 8) Portugal 9) Canada 10) Brazil
The dome over Manhattan you could finance easily by selling fresh, breathable air to all the folks who lives unter that thing
It would be like the Lorax movie and O'hare Air.
Love your channel u just earned another sub and I'll share
Just how were they planning to get on and off the flying building
If done right the death pyramid would just basically be a giant compost bin
I doubt anyone would use the compost for their garden, though.
Attaching a sky scraper to an asteroid is an extremely wild thing to do, there are several ways it can go wrong, the asteroid may get attracted to the earth and smash onto cities making hazardous mess, the height is unbelievable to be true, thats crazy
Things in this video that would be cool to have: Freedom Ship Tatin Tower (Just because of the silly design and silly name) SPACE SPHERE
Still love this channel
Another insane megaproject that was never built was Airliner Number 4. It was a large, amphibious, V-shaped passenger plane with 9 floors that was planned by Norman Bel Geddes and Otto A. Koller in the early 30s, and like the Freedom Ship, it was too expensive to build.
12:18 be amazed, Jay told us this story a few months ago and also THE GIANT PYRAMID OF DEATH
the bigger the tower is the harder it falls
Regarding 20:40, if an elevator got to 60mph and reached a floor a mile up in one minute, that would kill everyone on board and then catapult their corpses into the ceiling of the elevator. Ascending 1 mile in 1 minute at 60mph means the elevator would have to start at and stop from 60mph instantly with no time to accelerate or decelerate. Realistically, it's entirely possible that an elevator *couldn't* hit 60mph in that short of a span without causing a noteworthy amount of discomfort in its passengers. If it did hit that speed, it would only be for 10 or so seconds at best. The rest of the time would be accelerating and decelerating at rates that didn't make passengers violently ill.
24:05 imagine that animation in real life 😂
The Newton cenotaph would have no hungry people in it, because it was full of pi... I'll get my coat.
Do moreDarwin awards, please!
A shame they weren’t built
Came back after not watching for a year or two and it had changes so little but also so much
Here was me on my way to bed, then there's a new be amazed video to watch and now its 2am
Why do we need school if we have BE AMAZED but really dude i like your videos im subscribed😊😊😊
Just know there's someone out here who really gets a little chuckle out of your jokes.
Is it just me or does BE AMAZED thumbnails change
They do, it's just to get more gullible people to click, thinking it's a new video
@@mirthenary but how do they change
Imagine being in a building that is being carried by an asteroid…
i wuld jump out!
Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.
5:09 well if they build 10 of it then they are saved, (yes it's expensive but they'll be safe)
Can you do a video about wild cats from big to small or a spiders and snakes in Australia ?
ummmmm...
Main reason because of the costs,you can’t just think you can afford everything because you had to work hard but safety issues and legal issues are also in same reason why
The freedom ship looks like the Axiom from wall-e
My 4 year old love loves your videos its all she wants to watch. She loves the lil guy and all the faces he makes. I tried to send the pic showing we subscribed to you're Spotify podcast but it wont let me 🤷
This guy seems more tired then the last time I listened in 2022, still love his videos!
This is ai generated actually
THE WAY HE PRONOUNCED ILLINOIS 😂😂😂
It’s funny people talk about building a Dyson Sphere and yet building a floating space spike literally costs 3x the money on earth lol.
2:43 I was shocked to see footage from the mlp eq special “spring breakdown”
For the Mega building dangling down from an asteroid I propose the name »Damocles«.
I think it should be called the Jenga tower or better yet it's spin off, the jumbling tower.
I don't know but, some of these Megaprojects should uhm, you know, stay at the concept department.
1:18 wonder of the seas isn’t the biggest cruise ship. It is icon of the seas
The GIANT PYRAMID OF DEATH! 🤘 is back
What about the Space Elevator and Space Ring Hotel?
0:29 One of the later versions of SimCity done by the Maxis company, you can build some of these hypothetical arcologies in the city for high costs.
Someone's probably mentioned it already, but with the Phare Du Monde, I would have thrown up from driving in so many circles to get up there in the first place. And if that's their idea of making room for lunch, I'm out!
When are you going to do more riddles I really miss them 😢😢:(
Dude who ever thought it, was it good idea to hang a building from space LOL
The simian brain of humans
I'm curious on how truck drivers will deliver stuff to these stores 😂. Especially the floating skyscraper hanging from asteroid
I love the way he talks
Domes are not just an idea from a bygone era, there was a serious proposal in Houston, Texas to put a dome over the downtown area, to protect the city from hurricanes. I don’t know how far they got with the idea, but Houston remains dome less.
We’ve barely figured out how to land on an asteroid, and they were planning to lasso one and bring it into orbit around the Earth and hope it stays there. Then there’s the point on the building that intersects with the Earth’s atmosphere, titanium would melt at those conditions.
And don’t get me started on the storms it would have to weather.
@@michaelmcanally8468 Titanium would also be too heavy.
@@michaelmcanally8468 Maybe graphene would be better.
This should be the future for 2024
I love these facts and the vids
Love your videos. Keep up the good work.
I Aldo lo e them so much
Sorry
I also love them so much
It makes me feel like I am there and your cute round white character
@@MinatoNamikaze-rs1mu Lol., no problem. He does make it come to life.
Product of earth,❤ mans mind
i think sometime in the future some of the crazy ideas going to get built

Some people spend their retirement on cruise ships, going constantly on cruises back to back, because it's cheaper than going into a home, the food is better, and you get free entertainment!
Another good one!👍
Called the Freedom ship, but you can’t get off it when you want 🤷🏾♂️
Time stays long enough for anyone who will use it.
11 billion? nah that’s crazy💀😭
The Analemma Tower is by far the most jaw dropping and I am from the Chicagoland area
Interesting discoveries.
The next video must be about Malaysia(my native county)most interesting things
Some of these are simply, still in the design stages. Only matter of time of research and material and evolution. these particular structures may inspire other similar structures to be made.
Sounds like old Vladamir wanted to build a new Tower of Babel!! With nauseating rotations!! I wouldn’t want to see any of them built. I’m on a strict budget that doesn’t allow for such frivolous things to be put up.
That's awesome 👍
Make the be amazed statue
5:03, probably because they realized it would drift into buildings in floods
Here before 100,000 viewers and first day tickets ‘ere! Get’em ‘ere! O’er ‘ere ‘Ere!

The Manhattan dome could've prevented 9/11
the fredom ship wuld be me new home!🤣
I missed the dutch Mountain. Yep in Holland people where working on a actual couple km high mountain ⛰️ to build😂 So you can go skiing and snowboarding in a country bellow sea level.
Ive got one. A school that isnt falling apart
The 300 trillion dollar math was funny thou😂😂❤
The Icon of the Sea sets sail next year. That ship will be the biggest cruise ship ever built. It is also owned by the same company the Wonder of the Sea is owned by.
Hey AWESOME DUDE! Great video! And I’m the 9th viewer!
